If you are not familiar with the term “Perfect Grade” that comes from Bandai’s Gundam model kit, or gunpla, line. It’s the highest grade in terms of complexity, gimmicks, detailing, scale and price. The results are usually incredible though and I have availed myself of a few of these kits over the years, so I speak from experience here.

In this instance, the Millennium Falcon matches the same 1/72 scale as its X-Wing and TIE Fighter kits, so you can totally do a huge nerdy diorama if you so wish.

The size thing is a big point here, as this kit is massive. It’s also gimmick-ridden and full of lights and a removable cockpit cover.

However, for me the insane level of detailing for a mass production kit is what blows me away here. As the team behind this says in the kit’s promo video (shown below), is that it is arguably as detailed as the original production model used in the original trilogy. That’s crazy and entirely worth the price of entry. The price is worth noting though, as this kit will not be cheap.

Expected for release sometime later this year, the Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon is being priced for Japan at 43,200 yen (including tax). That is around $391 in case you are wondering. What’s more, if you are thinking of importing this from Japan, then get ready for some similarly eye-watering shipping costs.

In any case, Bandai has definitely delivered here, as this looks to be the best Millennium Falcon kit Star Wars fans could have ever hoped for.
